Interesting to Farmers.

From the recent report of the de-
partment of agriculture, we obtain
these statistics and compilation OF
crops for the past year. In Arkan
sas we raised corn on 1909, ,176 acres,
42,I40,000 bushels, valued at $780,
64S, 600; wheat on 23l 1857 acres, L.
1S5, 900 bushels, valued at ST., ,542,
75O; oats on 263, ,S4S acres. 4,749,000
bushels, valued at S1,994, $50. We
also shipped of tomatoes in cases
containing two dozen tins each,
4,500.
The corn harvested this year has
sold at prices ranging from 30 to 60
cents per bushel, depending upon
supply and demand and facilities for
market and transportation. The
product as compared with 1885, in
some counties, has been estimated
as high as $50. The crop in the
state is considerably better than last
year, though there is not so great an
increase as was promised in the field
before gathering.
The price of wheat is higher than
in the Chicago or st. Louis markets;
but as nearly all the crop produced
is consumed in the state and used
